Oh I figured out a compression of an earlier thing 1. Certain rightists are wrong in thinking that sex is (generally) evil 2. Certain leftists are wrong in thinking sex is mundane Of these (2) seems like the more dangerous mistake tbqh

Maybe we're picturing different failure modes here. Sex addiction is conjugate to unhealthy kinds of sex avoidance; both of those are easy to get stuck in. But to my point, you can learn first-hand the costs of casual sex with strangers. Not so with its conjugate, slutshaming.

Which leads to another failure mode glossed over here: anti-birth control and anti-sex legislation that destroys people's lives. E.g. pregnant women walking in front of cars to get an abortion

YES. there’s ample biological, cultural, psychological, archetypal reasons that sex is more than just some friction. A private note once shared with me:pic.twitter.com/47629EqjKO

Yo I’m not saying sex is ever without danger. Just talking about the comparative dangers of the two beliefs in the OP

It is the very lack of ‘safety’ is the core of both rightist and leftist philosophies on sex! “Likely to unsettle the social order” is a near-synonym for “evil” in the rightist imagination, and a near-synonym (aspirationally!) for “mundane” in the leftist utopic imagination

“After the revolution” means making all revolutionary conduct totally mundane (Sounds boring to me, but that’s because they imagine that the feeling of liberation will somehow be preserved even once all liberations become mundane
)
